I recently bought a CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme with the RTX 5060 Ti, and I was excited to upgrade my gaming setup. After unboxing, I ran some games and noticed that the performance feels a bit inconsistent—sometimes smooth, other times laggy. I was expecting solid performance across the board, especially with the RTX 5060 Ti, but it’s not quite matching my expectations.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues or can share their thoughts? Should I be concerned about the GPU or possibly other components? I’m considering whether to keep it or look for a different pre-built. Would appreciate any insights or tips!

Have you checked your drivers? Sometimes outdated drivers can cause performance hiccups.

Sarah

James, good point. Also, make sure your BIOS and Windows are fully updated.

Mike

I have a similar build, and I noticed that thermal throttling can cause lag. Do you check temps during gaming?

Emily

Mike, I agree. If the GPU or CPU gets too hot, performance drops. Consider cleaning the fans or improving airflow.

Chris

The RTX 5060 Ti is a solid card, but pre-builts sometimes have underoptimized settings. Maybe try tweaking your game settings.

Anna

Chris, yeah, lowering some settings could help. Also, check if your power supply is sufficient for the GPU.

David

Could it be a bottleneck elsewhere? Maybe the CPU or RAM isn't keeping up? Have you run any performance monitors?

Rachel

David, good idea. Monitoring tools like MSI Afterburner can give you insights into what’s limiting performance.

Tom

I bought a similar system, and I had to do a clean reinstall of drivers to fix lag issues. Might be worth trying.

Tom, thanks for sharing. Sometimes fresh installs make a big difference in performance.
